[QUOTE="Tanmal, post: 489619, member: 97262"] I am hoping someone can set my mind at rest. I have been T1 for 16 years and on a pump for 3 .5 years. I between 5 and 6 weeks pregnant and questioning what the changes in my insulin requirements means. I had my first son at 32 yrs with few problems, my second son at 35 yrs with few problems and now I am 41 and pregnant after a miscarriage 7 months ago. Because of the miscarriage, and my age, I am completely paranoid!! My insulin requirements rose almost immediately - it was the reason I knew I was pregnant long before I could do the test, because I usually drop in the week prior to coming on. But 3 days ago I suddenly seemed to plummet. I'm worried it means that the foetus has died. In my miscarriage the foetus had died at about 7 or 8 weeks, but I only started bleeding at 11 weeks. And although I didn't know the foetus had died until I started to bleed, I guess some signs were there - including the fact that my levels regularised. What is normal and usual in the early stages of pregnancy? Should BG be high or low? I don't know how I am going to get though these early weeks as my miscarriage has me obsessing about everything. And that stress in itself can't be good!! Sorry for rambling, I've never been on here before and don't know how everything works. [/QUOTE]
